Cathy had made her home in Plattsburgh since 1976 after graduating from Plattsburgh State Nursing Program. Cathy was instrumental in the institution and growth of Lothlorien, group home for adolescent girls. She worked for fourteen years with the Champlain Valley Family Center for Drug Treatment in both prevention and outpatient programs. Cathy loved her work, making a positive impact on the lives of adolescents, adults and those families she served.

They are James and Maureen Wurster of New Zealand, William Wurster and Sue Durocher of Latham, Peter and Bess Wurster of Hudson, Helene and Scott Rebman of Portland, Ore.; and several nieces and nephews. She is survived by many friends who brought much laughter, trust and love into her life.

A memorial service will be held Friday, Sept. 7, 2001, at 6 p.m. at the Trinity Episcopal Church, with the Rev. John Sorenson officiating. During the service friends are invited to share their remembrances of Cathy.
